Trailmakers Challenge

I loved the challenge this week at Trailmakers Blog.  It was to get creative and create your own embellishments!  Perfect for tightening the purse strings after Christmas.  For this challenge I created pleated flowers using coordinating paper from Basic Grey's Green at Heart line.  Plus, another penny pinching piece on my layout is using poor photos.  I printed these pictures and once printed, I realized I was out of several colors of ink-and they printed with a pink tint, then the pink ink ran out and faded into yellow.  Instead of throwing them away, I used them on this page.  I think they worked with the silly theme of the layout. 

Have a look...
